Chinese homes to help ease housing shortage in UK

A British property developer is hoping to combat the United Kingdom's housing shortage with homes shipped from China in ready-for-assembly kits.

Trillium Homes Construction has set up the first British prototype of such a house at a site in Watford, UK.

It was built using a light gauge steel frame and other materials that arrived from China in two shipping containers. The materials were manufactured by industrial company Shanghai Steel Fashion.
